Ecological succession provides diversity and depth to a biotic community. Without it, life can not grow or progress. ... ( I don’t know if this will help you but here you go. )
Answer:
AaBb × aabb
Explanation:
A test cross is a cross between an unknown genotype (dominant phenotype) with a homozygous recessive genotype in order to discover the actual genotype of the species exhibiting dominant phenotype.
This is because one allele of a gene is capable of masking the expression of another, the allele masking is called DOMINANT allele while the allele being masked is called RECESSIVE allele. The combination of these two alleles is termed heterozygosity.
An organism that is phenotypically dominant for a specific trait may either be heterozygous or homozygous for that gene. For example, a plant gene for tallness with an dominant allele T, and recessive allele t. This plant will need tall if the genotype is TT (homozygous dominant) or Tt (heterozygous dominant). In order to know which of these genotypes the plant actually has, a test cross is conducted.
In this example, two genes A and B are involved. For the first gene, A represents dominant allele while a represents recessive allele. For the second gene, B represents dominant allele while b represents recessive allele.
In a cross involving parents AABB (homozygous dominant for both genes) and aabb (homozygous recessive for both genes), the F1 progeny will all exhibit phenotypic dominance (AaBb).
However, we cannot know the genotype by merely looking at the phenotype. We cannot ascertain yet whether the dominance is heterozygous or homozygous, hence the need for a test cross.
The test cross is between the dominant F1 progeny and a homozygous recessive i.e. AaBb × aabb. Some of the F2 generation will show recessive traits if the unknown genotype is heterozygous.
Y = yellow leaves
y = greed leaves
S = smooth seeds
s = rough seeds
The presence of the dominant traits (the capital letters) dictates that the plant has yellow leaves and smooth seeds.
Hope this helps =)
Coral does not have a radial symmetry.
radial symmetry - symmetry about a central axis, as in a starfish or a tulip flower.
So, C is the answer.
Hope this helps! :)
